We had a lovely stay here. Everything was perfect and Sharon went above and beyond to help us with random requests. If we are visiting that way again we will definitely be booking here .
A beautiful little stay, would 100% visit again. Sharon was an incredible host with brilliant recommendations. Perfect for a little getaway!!
Superb stay and ideal for 1 person or a couple. Sharon is a lovely local lady who was always very accommodating and a superb host. Great getaway and very good value for money. I would highly recommend this lovely 'mini cottage'!
Een bijzondere locatie: middenin een historische straat en mooie omgeving bij een prachtige abdij. Pub, postkantoor en winkeltje op loopafstand. Sfeervol en leuk ingericht appartement. Kon op een paar praktische punten iets beter (afwasborstel, bergruimte, update van apparatuur) maar de charme, omgeving en vriendelijke host maakt erg veel goed.
Milton Abbas is a beautiful historic village in Dorset, England. The village is famous for its 36 chocolate box-style, whitewashed thatch and cob cottages that line the single winding street.
Milton Abbas is set in a valley which is surrounded by woodland and is perfect for country walks. Many cyclists also enjoy the area. At the bottom of the village is a pathway known as Monk’s Path which leads to Milton Abbey, a stunning abbey with landscaping designed by Capability Brown, which is open to visitors. Nestled in the woods by the Abbey is St Catherine Chapel with a beautiful view point looking down at Milton Abbey, across the fields and down the grass steps.
The village was commissioned in 1780 by Joseph Damer and originally had a bakers, blacksmith, brewery and a fire house, of which the Little Pink House is part of and was where the fire engines were originally kept.
There is plenty to do nearby. The village pub (The Hambro Arms) is a short stroll up the village. It serves both lunchtime and evening meals including Sunday roast. In the summer months you can sit outside with your drink and admire the view down the village. There is a small post office/shop for essentials, confectionary and postcards. There is also a lake at the bottom of the village in which you can pay to fish, as well as a golf course at Milton Abbey.
There are many surrounding villages with a selection of great pubs.
Dorchester, a small county town, is nearby and home to author Thomas Hardy. You are also a short drive away from both the Jurassic Coast and Sandbanks beach.
I would advise having a car here for getting around but you can leave it parked on the drive and spend your time walking and exploring the local area if want you want to get away from it all! The location is fantastic for cycling and walking with beautiful surrounding countryside.
There are buses that run daily through the village which will take you to nearby towns (Blandford, Dorchester etc). Our nearest airport is Bournemouth and nearest train station station is Dorchester. Trains run regularly from London Waterloo to Dorchester (13 miles from Milton Abbas).
